A concert in Des Moines, Iowa, came to an end on Saturday after rapper Tone Loc collapsed during the show.

The Des Moines Police Department told CNN that the rapper was taken to a local hospital for what's believed to be a seizure.

According to the Des Moines Register, the "Wild Thing" and "Funky Cold Medina" artist had finished performing a song when he fell to the ground. The paper reports that others at the show attended to the rapper for about five minutes.

The concert, which was being held at a bridge overlooking the Des Moines river, was shut down after Tone Loc's collapse.

I live in Des Moines and I think its an insurance scam. It was a cold day for St Pattys day and only 200-300 people were there. The person who promoted this I bet worked out a deal with him to take a fall because of the low turn out.
Someone should look into this!!

I'm so sick of celebrities collapsing and having seizures and crap. These 'celebrities' need to step up and stop it with all this collapsing drama, they only do it for publicity – when was the last time you heard of this Tone Poc loser?

I though Loc had some kind of low grade medical thing going on like a Thyroid thing or diabetes. I'm supprised he's still doing shows, really. Get better guy, you were always fun and funny, two things we need more of.

You are a sad, strange little man – I pity you. Tone Loc's stuff was some of the very best of vintage rap, and is still insanely funny and catchy today. My teenage kids laughed their heads off when I showed them Funky Cold Medina on Youtube. He's still got it. You, on the other hand...?

March 26, 2013 is International Purple Day, wear purple or purple ribbons for support of persons living with seizure disorders and for epilepsy awareness. Three million Americans are living with epilepsy, including the current Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. I personally would like to see my daughter drive someday; she's 19, never even sat in the driver's seat of a car. She's at a university with a good bus system, but there are no guarantees of a finding a career in an area with good public transportation. She's had seizures for 8 years, mostly (but not all) controlled by meds.

I hate to say this, but use of cocaine and some other like drugs can cause seizures such as what we are now seeing with Lil Wayne, Kelly Osbourne and Tone Loc – I am not saying that's the cause of all of these occurences, and I HOPE IT IS NOT, but seems very curious to see all of this happening time after time, after time. When you abuse drugs unfortunately you suffer the consequences. Very sad.

Another one bites the dust..... It must be some kind of new disease for entertainers to catch. It just seems to be going around a lot lately, doesn't it? Too much partying, and not enough taking care of oneself? I don't seem to remember any of the great bands ever having people collapsing during their shows.

Really now? Are we forgetting the drug and alcohol fueled Rock and Roll scene of the 70's-80's, where not online did you have musicians taking the stage incredibly intoxicated, by often dying of overdoses/injuries obtained while intoxicated (see Terry Kath of Chicago shooting himself accidentally while drunk, John Bonham choking on his own vodka induced vomit, Joplin's overdose, Bon Scott, the list goes on).

This is not new. Fame, and the lifestyle that it brings, often breeds this sort of behavior. It is nothing new and implying that it is is, at best, disingenuous.

Like I said, Brian, I don't seem to remember anyone keeling over during a concert. If you remember them collapsing during a concert, then you must be older than me. We all know that the older bands all partied, but they seemed to always finish their concerts. Sorry to make you so upset.

Neil Young had epilepsy, he used to go off stage after Buffalo Springfield concerts back in the late 1960s to have his seizures. Allegedly, that's why the band never did encores. He's also had successful brain surgery. Nothing new.

@sal. I don't remember anyone doing all that stuff on stage. I think that was the point she was making. Nobody disagrees that they partied, and we all know about what they did in their private lives. They may have been stoned out if their minds, but they usually made it through their concerts.

Shame on some of you. I worked with Tone Loc before he's a gr8t person gr8t rapper. So he wants to keep his music alive is wonderful. My prayers are with you Tone Loc Get Well soon and keep on keeping on!!!!!! Rick James kept his music going and many more b4 him and after him. R.I.P. Rick James.

Funny thing....Kelly Osbourne collapses with a Siezure and ends up in hospital....L'il Wayne same thing, now Tone Loc.....could be something being injested that these "star" types are doing?? Hmmm maybe something snorted or smoked???

Seriously does anyone know who this is? The meer fact CNN is posting this is stupid because there are millions of people that have siezures everyday but CNN doesn't report on those numbers but because this guy has one "it's important and news worthy."

Adam why did you click on the article if you don't know who Tone Loc is? I'm very curious about people and their motivations, so a response would be for my personal edification. Thanks in advance friend!
